figure 7- from John Miskevich. This r with the Anschluss stamps was posted at Falkenberg, in Germany. It was mailed to Ruw7, in the former German East Africa (now Tanganjika Ten-itoy). The 24 Pfennig on the cxr is one short of the proper rate of 25, yet it passed without postage due.

All of the Thoolen covers shown here bear the ‘Vienna”-printed No. 663, while the block of four at the right and the propaganda card stamp were part of the “Berlin” printing of No.662.
